A Large Along-Track Baseline Approach for Ground Moving Target Indication Using TanDEM-X

Abstract

In the paper a new method for ground moving target indication (GMTI) using two satellites (i.e. the TerraSAR-X and the TanDEM-X satellite) together is presented. The along-track baseline between the satellites is chosen to be in the order of several kilometres, so that each satellite observes the same moving vehicles at different times in the order of one to several seconds. The proposed method allows the estimation of the ground velocity of the moving targets as well as the estimation of the broadside positions without the need of complex bistatic processing techniques
